The Author's POV

Chapter 252

'”WHIIIIII! '”WHIIIIII!

The tumultuous sound of the sires rang inside of the dome. The whole facility turned red as emergency messages repeatedly echoed across the place.

[Please evacuate the premise] [Please evacuate the premise] [Please evacuate the premise]

"Crap!"

Ignoring the sirens and staring at the metal disc in Ren's hands that was shaking uncontrollably, Kevin's eyes interlocked with Ren's.

"Let's leave."

Dropping the disc on the ground, Ren took a couple of steps back.

"Wait what about them? Are we leaving without them?"

Kevin pointed towards the eight individuals on the ground.

"Yes. Leave them."

Ren coldly replied.

"But they are children"

"..."

Turning around, Ren completely ignored Kevin.

"Hey Ren, where are you going?" Kevin shouted. "Think about it, they could've been blackmailed by the Monolith to do their bidding. What if they are innocent"

Ren's footsteps halted.

Turning around, he coldly looked at Kevin.

"...They are not worth it."

"Bu'”"

Before Kevin could reply, Ren had already left.

Though vague, the meaning behind Ren's words was clear; let them die in the explosion

It was a cruel thing to say, but he was not wrong. With the impending explosion, trying to save the lives of others might result in his own death. Furthermore, these people were the ones that started everything. Regardless of the fact that they might've been blackmailed or not, they were the ones that caused everything. Trying to save them at the expense of his own personal safety was not worth it.

"...ah."

A small sound escaped from Kevin's lips.

Biting his lower lips, Kevin he lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. He knew that Ren was right, but a part of him really wanted to save them.

"I'm sorry."

Eventually, Kevin came up with a decision. Closing his eyes he turned around. He knew that Ren was right.

Had the circumstances been different, he would've helped them. But now that his life was on the line, he needed to worry about himself instead of the others.

However.

Right as he was about to leave, an enchanting voice reached his ears.

"What's going on here?"

Kevin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Longbern, Miss Jefrrey!"

"Kevin, what is going on here?"

Landing softly on the ground, Donna looked at Kevin. Besides Donna was Monica.

"Over there."

Kevin pointed at the disc in the disc the distance.

"Miss, can you do anything about this?"

"'”'”!"

Gazing towards the direction Kevin was pointing at, Donna's brows jumped up slightly. Feeling the fluctuations coming from the disc, Donna was taken aback. Her whole demenour changed completely.

"Monica."

"I know. Give me a second."

Having already spotted the disc beforehand, Monica solemnly nodded her head. Slowly walking towards the disc, Monica waved her hand over the disc. An orange hue enveloped the disc.

Kracka. Kracka. Kracka.

Levitating in front of Monica, black lightning crackled around the disc.

Closing her eyes, Monica tried her best to suppress the impending explosion. To her dismay, however, she couldn't suppress the device. Gravely looking at Donna, she shook her head.
